At least until the sequel to LoP comes out.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Lazy me doesn't want to look back for who said "yes" the first time, but I'm putting the final touches on Latitude in preparation for a BtVS WZ application, and need to know who I can add to the beta readers list.
All I need, and I can be emailed with the details, is name, email contact, lead time, and what you will/won't beta.
Anyaluvsya, anya4now@mailbox.com, need a week, won't read angst or anything with the letter 'q'.
For example.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Do I post a link, if I want to post a story?
Because this one's nearly 70k in length and wouldn't that be insanely long to post?
Can someone advise the poor techno-dweeb?

No, you don't want to post here -- except for the very short, we don't post fic on the board.
Posting a story can be done in a number of ways. You can post to a mailing list, to an archive, or to both, like with the BFA.
If you posted to BFA, for instance, you would upload a text file. The software would convert it to HTML and give you the link for the story. It would also cut the story into 400-line parts and mail these parts in order out over the BFA-L list.
Does that make sense?

Oh, and by "text" file, I mean a .txt file.
And by 70K, do you mean 70,000 words? or a text file that's 70 kilobytes? Because the first is much bigger than the second. *g*

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Yes, but generally not completed fic of that length. It's not a posting area, like a mailing list or an archive. It's a workshop thread, where you ask for beta or opinions on an idea or help working through a particular point in the story.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Or, show off what you did.
But, yeah, short stuff.

Well, hell, because I went to Bitchy Fic and Steph to post it in segments and I did. been getting all sorts of conflicting advice. Sorry if the longness was a problem in Bitchy fic - I was just following a suggestion, truly.
And I mean 70K as in kilobytes. I don't do epic novels (mine are definitely on the short side in the modern age) but I don't write quickie short fic either....
(edit: Dude, 70K words? That would be an average novel for me. I've just realised.

Aha! Rebecca's going to post it somewhere for me in its entirety. Blessed be, and definitely cookies as thanks.
